Yesterday's threads are today's trim.
The pattern is that of Hallstatt Textile 123, which dates dack to the Celtic period. It was found in the salt mines of Hallstatt, where it has been reused and was thus preserved. Originally it was most probably sewn onto a sleeve hem.

Tablet woven trim with a yellow pattern on a blue and red background and green borders.

Original tablet woven trim (Hallstatt Textile 123) from the salt mines of Hallstatt, dating back to the Celtic period.

It ist so satisfying to have a newly threaded project on the loom. Soon it will be a trim with a pattern from the Celtic period of Hallstatt.

A small hand towel project in progress on a loom in bright colors of aqua, yellow, blue, purple, and green. It is mostly plain weave with some huck squares. Project from Handwoven Magazine May 2003.

This scarf is a gift for my uncle, inspired by quartz clusters we saw together backpacking in Cottonwood Canyon in Death Valley. From what I've been reading I think they were formed by intrusive igneous rock forming around xenoliths, and by cooling very slowly forming the incredible quartz crystals we saw, which looked like rings around the darker xenoliths in the weathered rock face we saw. I'm not trained as a geologist though and would love to find more information about the geology of Cottonwood Canyon from someone with some real expertise!

The wool is targhee roving I got at the nor cal ren faire. I spun it on my small cross arm spindle and wove it on a loom I've been borrowing from a friend. It's plain weave set at 8epi. It looked very open on the loom, but fulled into a wonderfully bouncy and dense fabric.

After fulling I scoured the fabric, then used rubber bands to do this shibori inspired dye process. After putting on the rubber bands I gave it a bath in tannins I extracted from an oak gall, then in a bath of cool water with just a tiny bit of dissolved ferrous sulfate. It was so exciting to see the fabric turn grey in a a matter of just a few minutes when I put it in the iron bath!

Current distraction: threading a loom. The yarn is Cottolin and the pattern is from handwoven May 2003. #handweaving #handmade

A loom view from the back, showing colorful yarns threaded through string heddles and more warp waiting to be threaded. The yarn is loosely tied temporarily to keep it in place until all is ready to wind onto the back beam.

The sample of this pattern is looking good #weaving #handweaving #handmade #væv #vævning

I wove this studio rug many years ago when I owned my AVL 40", 8 harness Home Loom. I used cotton rug yarn for the warp and white mop cord for the weft. After 20+ years it is still holding up.

Ich habe mir einen kleinen Bändchenwebrahmen gebaut. Bei Weave-Weben muss ich an Wave-Welle denken, deswegen ist er in einer schönen Wellenform gestaltet. Die Technik mit den Litzen ist gut geeignet für meine grobe Nesselwergwolle. Das Ergebnis ist ein wildes Band, das ich als Griffumwicklung für den Bogen verwenden will.

Auf geriffeltem Untergrund liegt der wellenartig gestaltete Webrahmen. Die Spannpunkte für die Kettfäden sind lange Schrauben. Die Spannung wird mit einem verschiebbaren Hölzchen reguliert, das sich in der rechten unteren Ecke des Gerätes befindet.

Auf einer hellen Decke steht ein Gerät mit einer aufgespannten, sehr groben Webkette. Die Fäden sehen graugrün aus und enthalten noch Spelzen von Brennnesselstängeln. Man erkennt drei Litzen aus grünem Garn. Im Webfach steckt ein Schiffchen aus Holz. Im Vordergrund sieht man das Band, es hat kein Muster, da alle Fäden nur aus demselben Material bestehen.

Auf einer Riffelmatte liegt ein schlanker Holzbogen mit einer angedeuteten Griffumwicklung aus grobem Nessel-Woll-Mix. Bild in Graustufen.

Threading time! #weaving #handweaving #handmade #væv #vævning

The thick yarn on the shuttle and used in the weft is cotton and the thin thread like yarn in the warp is silk. I made a set of stick shuttles with my M1 Ultra laser. This weaving is done on my 30-inch Flip Rigid Heddle loom. I got the idea very loosely from thinking about rep weave. I wanted to see what would happen putting these two yarns together.

#LocalWoolWeaveAlong ist ein tolles Projekt, das lokale Woll- und Leinenprodukte vorstellt und deren Herstellys miteinander *vernetzen* will. Dank @sufloese habe ich davon erfahren und möchte es im Fedi verbreiten helfen. Es geht darum, bis Ende Januar, Mitte Februar Dinge aus regionalen Materialien herzustellen und hier zu präsentieren. Macht ihr mit?

this double-width weaving project has been on my loom for very nearly 8 months, but I've recently circled back to it. After a lot of unweaving, fussing, re-warping, and weaving, I'm starting to make actual progress with it! Fingers crossed it'll see the light of day as a finished piece sooner rather than later :blobfoxlaughsweat:

The trick with double-width weaving is using a combination of pick-up sticks and heddles to basically weave two pieces of fabric at once! exciting stuff!
